I don't smell it unless the fan is blowing. The smell is as strong as the blower speed. (More air =stronger smell) No open windows, and hatch seal looks good. Plus, the exhaust sounds good, no audible leaks. I won't have a chance to inspect it until tomorrow.

My '92 Loyale emitts an exhaust smell whenever the heater motor is blowing. I've tried searching other threads but have found nothing similar; and she doesn't have a cabin air filter. I'm lost on where to look next.

Thanks for the info folks! It has 212,000 miles. For now I don't have the means to work on it myself. I'm gonna try some additives first and see where that gets me. I bought it to get through the winter or until I bought a truck, but plans have changed and I think I'm going to be staying here for a while so it might be a more permanent vehicle. Either that or I'll sell my other vehicles and go into debt for a descent one. I'll post with results soon!

Its not a header leak, it's metal on metal, and its definitely not a bearing. Oil is seeping from the service port and there is air pushing out like a valve is not closing all the way. The ticking is coming from what I think is the head on the passenger side of the vehicle. I put some motor honey in her and the noise was almost completely subdued for a few days, but then returned. A friend thinks the oil pump is going because the noise quiets down every once in a while after the engine reaches operating temp, though the Guage reads good pressure.

I am having the same issue with my loyale I bought a couple weeks ago. Did you find the issue? Fix it? Just live with it?

Thanks!

Hey folks, just bought a '92 loyale and its making a pretty loud noise. My wife can tell when I'm home and we live in an apartment complex. Some guys I've talked to say it could be a lifter or rocker banging around. Any advice on which forum to get the best info from?
